Linda Stoltz

About me: My education is in history and public administration, but my work experience has been mostly in organizational development. I like to write and I like having a balanced checkbook. I enjoy visits over coffee or tea, and meetings with an agenda, but I love to sing any time I get a chance!

Why I joined the RNW Board: For the past decade I have been impressed with the mediation and restorative justice services RNW provides. The programs RNW has developed in our community are impressive and will have a long-range impact on how people listen to and problem solve with one another. These are programs that, because they contribute to a vibrant and just community, need and deserve broad community support.

My current career: I split my work time between my family business, Spectrum Construction, and doing project work for some wonderful nonprofit organizations.
